Bring your appetite and a hankering for old-fashioned family fun to the Flying J Ranch at 1028 Highway 48, north in Alto.

For 34 years, James and Cindy Hobbs with the Flying J Wranglers have brought to life the legend of the Old West at the Flying J Ranch.

Opening today for the 2015 season and continuing through Labor Day, the Flying J offers up a tasty chuck wagon supper and an entertaining Western stage show.

The ranch serves up a full evening of wholesome entertainment driven by the talents of the Flying J Wranglers, known for their love of music and performing traditional Western music.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. where visitors can attend deputy training school, ride the pony express, pan for gold, hear Corinna's fiddle side show and participate in other wild west adventures.

Duck for cover as the sheriff corrals the Flying J gunfighters at the Bonita City gunfight. Roy Black returns as the sheriff this year to enforce the code of the West and get a handle on the gunslingers.

Flying J's cookie then offers up a chuckwagon supper reminiscent of those served on the trail.

The Flying J Wranglers tell stories and sing Western ballads about the great American cowboys of days gone by, accompanied by fiddle playing, banjo plunking, guitar picking, world-champion yodeling and harmonies.

A favorite area attraction, each season the Flying J is pretty handy at helping folks create special family memories. More than 25,000 visitors pass through the ranch each year.

The Flying J is open Memorial Day through Labor Day, six nights a week, Monday through Saturday; Saturdays only from Labor Day through mid-October.
